[Gambas-user] array of object is SO needed

[roberto]

hi.

i am doing a "sudoku" game.

i have a matrix of 81 labels, from "label1" to "label81" as containers 
of the numbers (to show them to user)

i have matrix to container of number (to "elaborate" them).

To fill the textlabels  i have to do


if matrix[1] <> 0 then label1.text=matrix[1]

if matrix[2] <> 0 then label2.text=matrix[2]

...

if matrix[81] <> 0 then label81.text=matrix[81]


also to clean or assign different background color, i have to write 81 
times the same command on different labels.

it will be HUGE better to have array of objects  to allow some the follow:


for n = 1 to 81

  if matrix[n] <> 0 then label[n].text = matrix[n]

next

At my eyes, absence of object arrays is the worsest weakness of gambas.


PS: in past i did bigger programs with hundreds of labels and all of 
them must be worked one by one, it was a mess (doing cut and past and 
renumbering, it is so common to do a mistake).

Getting older, i became less used to face this weakness.
